I'm back in my "learn all I can about diabetes" phase, and I want to know what this is. Are they two different things? What are the repercussions of having a fatty or leaky liver? How is it treated?Continue

Steve D replied to CS's discussion 'The story of the Zombie Podcolalypse' in the group OmniPod Users"Kudos to you, CS, for not smashing the pod in the middle of this entire frenzy!! It is frustrating, but I do understand that this thing is a "new" treatment method (certainly NOT perfected yet!) and it is discussions like this one that…"
debdebdebby13 replied to CS's discussion 'The story of the Zombie Podcolalypse' in the group OmniPod Users"LOL! We had a screamer mixed in a huge bag of used pods. We finally found it and threw it in the freezer...why does the freezer work so well? My DH thought I was crazy when I told him to put it in the freezer (it was our first screamer), but I told…"
CS replied to CS's discussion 'The story of the Zombie Podcolalypse' in the group OmniPod Users"Oh the way I feel mentally and physically is so much better with Zombie pods is so much better than life before the Zombies, that I am not ready to e angry at Insulet just yet.
Will try channel locks, hammers, and a blow torch if need be to silence…"
meh_mtl replied to CS's discussion 'The story of the Zombie Podcolalypse' in the group OmniPod Users"LOL I leave mine in ther freezer for 2 days and it is good and dead. it sounds like the screamer I had when I first started I couldn`t figure out where the heck it was coming from."

2Dogs replied to CS's discussion 'The story of the Zombie Podcolalypse' in the group OmniPod Users"Actually it is the hammer that does the trick the best. I've tried the paper clip to no avail, the freezer only works while in the freezer and until it defrosts after you take it out....I simply take the hammer in the junk drawer, go outside…"
Biedronk replied to CS's discussion 'The story of the Zombie Podcolalypse' in the group OmniPod Users"Yep, I had a pod alarming after 3 days in the freezer. Persistent little ... Once the insulin was too cold when I filled the pod, and this triggered the alarm. The other time I have no idea. I had a problem with alarming pod in high security area.…"

The story of the Zombie Podcolalypse
Holy cow. Last week when my pod was priming I got a screamer. It would not stop. I stuck it in the freezer. Last night, I took it out of the freezer, stuck it in my purse to remember to call Insulet when I got to work today.I changed my pod last night about 8:00 PM.At 4AM, I was jerked awake by the sound of an alarm. I stumbled into the bathroom and checked the pod. It looked fine. Looked at my PDM and there was a "?" at the top.The alarm was blaring. I deactivated the pod and removed it. Put…See More
CS replied to KaseyK's discussion 'Advice for itchy skin under pod?' in the group OmniPod Users"If he is actually allergic to the adhesive, try Nasonex. Someone here suggested it, and it worked! I spray a little on the site, let it dry and affix the pod. No more itchies. But I agree with not using alcohol on the whole site. It dries out your…"

Here I go. I meet with my DE on Thursday at 8:00 AM to do my training for my first ever pump. I opened the box with excitement and trepidation. Pulled out each and every box, covered the PDM with with silicone sleeve, looked through the little book that comes with. I am like a kid at Christmas. I have to wait a little more than a day before I can finally dive in. So what questions do I need to ask the day of the training? For starters, I don't really know how much I need to bolus for meals.…

In May of 2000, I heard about the symptoms of a bad thyroid, so I called my doc and asked for a checkup. A few days later I received a voicemail on Saturday, and was told, "You don't have anything wrong with your thyroid, but you are diabetic. Call the office on Tuesday if you would like to discuss this."
Well, first of all, this was unprofessional and hurtful and so inappropriate. I was at a Memorial Weekend rodeo with my kids, and had no idea what to do. Until I could see a doctor, I…
